This new edition of the successful Blackstone's PCSO Handbook provides up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the role and functions of Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). PCSOs support regular police officers and work within a targeted patrol area to provide a visible and accessible uniformed presence. They work with partners and community organizations to address anti-social behaviour, the fear of crime, environmental issues and other factors which affect the quality of people's lives. The role of the PCSO has been subject to a great deal of change in recent years. Blackstone's PCSO Handbook consolidates all the relevant information into one portable volume. This new edition outlines the standardised PCSO powers, the Policing Pledge and the new Police Conduct regulations. It offers new content on problem-solving techniques, community partnerships and the PACT process, as well as updates on the relevant law and PACE Code of Practice. Topics such as human rights, diversity, health and safety, evidence & procedure and general duties are all covered. PCSOs can use the book as a reference to find information on tasks such as crime scene management, cautions, evidence gathering, attending court and pocket notebook protocol. Throughout the book, case scenarios, flow charts, checklists and good practice sections are used to illustrate and clarify the information. The updated key National Occupational Standards relevant to PCSOs are discussed and explained and so PCSOs can ensure that they achieve these targets effectively. The book also looks at the historical background of PCSOs and how the PCSO role fits with the rapidly changing face of policing. This is a highly practical and portable handbook, ideal for PCSOs to carry on the beat and for PCSO trainers and other police officers.

Blackstone's Handbook for Policing Students 2012 has been developed from the best-selling Blackstone's Student Police Officer Handbook to reflect the multitude of avenues into the police force now open to future police officers, from pre-entry courses to PCSOs and Specials. Completely revised and restructured, helping you find the key areas and meet the new requirements of police training, this book is a must-have for those embarking on a career in the police. Parts of initial police training common to all new entrants are easily identified and there are specific chapters on qualifications structures and training and assessment, meeting the needs of students whether you are entering policing through pre-entry schemes or through an alternative qualification route. This new structure means it is possible for students to omit certain Parts of the Handbook whilst still meeting the mandatory requirements of the revised IPLDP Diploma in Policing.Divided into six parts, representing key stages in your progression from pre-entry programmes (where appropriate) in Parts 1 and 2, to initial training and then confirmation, the Handbook leads you through the topics, covering theory, discussion and practice while developing skills of analysis, problem solving and forms of reasoning. Coupled with a comprehensive and accessible style, the book ensures you have the knowledge and understanding necessary to undertake independent patrol in a professional and competent manner. Key topics covered include Stop, Search, and Entry, Alcohol and Drug Offences, Sexual Offences, Interviewing, and Intelligence.Blackstone's Handbook for Policing Students 2012 is essential reading whether you are taking a pre-entry course or the IPLDP Diploma in Policing, looking to move on from your role as a PCSO or Special, or are involved within the security and law enforcement sector.

<ul>“This should be essential reading for anyone involved in the training and professional development of early years practitioners. The book features clear definitions, summary charts, case studies, reading lists and exercises. I particularly liked the stimulating ‘ideas galleries’ with their statements from researchers, policy-makers and practitioners around the world.” Nursery World</ul>

"sensibly structured and easily assimilated. The blueprint for each chapter is soon established: each has an introduction and tasks are planned coherently. Themes can be followed through and it is easy to make connections between topics in different chapters. ...This unpretentious book challenges myths about what good teaching is, suggests interpretations of the new learning age and where the myriad of purported support agencies are situated in it." Talisman, March 2004 "...clearly written, well organised, easy to use, practical and accessible for both new and continuing teachers." The Lecturer

When Robin Bryant arrived in Malaya in the early 1960s, the colonial era was drawing to a close. For nearly two decades he lived and worked in a country in the process of change after independence. Working on Malaysia's rubber estates, he managed vast plantations, facing great responsibilities and frequent problems. To unwind, he and his fellow expatriates learned to fly light aircraft, travelled around exploring jungles and observing wildlife from elephants to birds, sailed and water-skied and enjoyed life to the full.This is not just a personal memoir of a privileged colonial lifestyle, it is also a picture of a country undergoing change. And, while the author is proud of Malaysia's great success in subsequently developing its economy, he also regrets the spread of fundamentalism and the passing of a simple and relaxed period in its history.
